Aunt Wang was startled; this educated youth was trying to scare her again by mentioning her son's job.
But she didn't dare say anything, so she could only nod with a forced smile: "Yun Zhiqing, don't worry, this is my daughter-in-law, I will definitely take good care of her!"
Yun Ningyan nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it. I'll come back in a couple of days."
Aunt Wang chuckled twice, then dared not speak again.
Yun Ningyan then left.
As soon as she left, Zhang Hongmei closed her eyes and went to sleep.
She didn't want to talk to her mother-in-law, nor did she want to hear her speak.
Granny Wang sat down awkwardly to one side.
Yun Ningyan went to the meat processing plant again and bought two large pieces of pork ribs.
There was also some pork belly.
I'm planning to ask my mother-in-law to make braised pork for dinner tonight.
I start craving food after a few days without it.
She also bought a few pig's trotters, but she didn't know if her mother-in-law knew how to cook them.
This person eats very little now.
I gave her a pig's trotter for only two cents.
In later generations, a single pig's trotter would cost several tens of dollars.
There are six pig trotters in total. Pig trotters stewed with soybeans is a delicious dish.
She found some soybeans in her storage space, which was enough.
When I get back, I'll ask my mother-in-law to braise it.
They took these things and went back.
She returned via the same spatial dimension as before.
When Li Xiangyun saw that she had brought back so many things, she immediately reached out and took them from her.
"Why did you buy so much stuff? We still have meat at home."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard, so I just bought some pork belly and a few pig's trotters."
"Mom, do you know how to cook pig's trotters? And also, a handful of soybeans."
"I want to eat my mother's braised pork."
Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "No problem, I'll make it, and it will be ready for lunch."
"You came and went quite quickly."
Yun Ningyan's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't noticed the time issue.
She changed the subject, saying, "I walked quickly, bought what I needed, and came right back. I didn't shop around."
She handed everything to Li Xiangyun and then went to see the two children.
Huo Changgen didn't go to work today; she was going to the commune. Li Xiangyun didn't let Huo Changgen go to work today.
The two children are playing with Nianfeng from my second sister-in-law's family.
My mother-in-law laid a thick mat made of dry grass on the ground in the yard, and then put a soft mat on top of it.
They all seem to be woven.
I wonder whose hands are so skillful!
"Dad, who put this thing here? It's nice to spread it out in the yard for the kids to play with."
Huo Changgen said with a smile, "This was woven by the eldest and second eldest brothers using the outer leaves of corn."
"I had them do it last winter when I had some free time."
Yun Ningyan nodded: "I have to say, this thing is really useful."
The two children were having fun, so she went to help start the fire.
Li Xiangyun looked at the pig's trotters with some difficulty, as she had never cooked pig's trotters before.
What should I do?
"Ningning, how do we make this?"
Li Xiangyun asked as soon as she saw her come in.
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Mother, first chop the pig's trotters, then blanch them, and finally braise them. It'll be similar to braised pork!"
"But these pig trotters are too hard to chop, so I'll take the axe and let Dad do it."
Li Xiangyun called out towards the door, "Old man, go get the axe! These bones are too hard; a knife won't do!"
Huo Changgen came in with an axe and, following Yun Ningyan's instructions, chopped the pig's trotters in a few strokes.
Li Xiangyun started blanching the vegetables, cooking in two pots simultaneously.
Fortunately, it's still early; the pig's trotters need to be stewed for almost an hour.
After the pig's trotters were stewed, she started preparing the pork belly and ribs, intending to stew them together.
Then add some dried green beans, potatoes, cabbage, etc., and it's all cooked together in one pot.
There was also a pot of rice simmering in the big pot.
People coming home from work could smell the aroma from afar.
"Who cooked this? It smells so good, there must be meat in it!"
"Kenkai is braised pork, and it tastes like braised pork."
Huo Jianshe and Huo Junshan said, "Third Brother, can you smell the aroma? Did Mother cook something delicious today?"
"Third Sister-in-law went to the commune today; she must be back from selling meat!"
Huo Junshan said helplessly, "We've never stopped eating meat at home, and you're still so greedy?"
Huo Jianshe waved his hand: "How can I not be tempted? I've been working these past few days, eating nothing but bland food every day, and my stomach has shrunk."
“Look, I was just trying to gain some weight in the winter, but after working for a few days, I’ve lost it all.”
Huo Junshan smiled and quickened his pace.
Because he knew Ningning must have bought meat today!
"Third brother, third brother, wait for me, wait for me!"
The two arrived home, and Huo Jianshe went straight to the kitchen.
"Mom, what kind of food did you make? I'm starving!"
Li Xiangyun glared at him: "You're like a starving ghost, eating a lot and doing very little every day."
"You're the only one who knows how to complain about being hungry, while everyone else is oblivious!"
Huo Jianshe was scolded, but he wasn't angry. He just scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.
Looking at my third sister-in-law, who was tending the fire, I saw her covered in sweat.
"Third sister-in-law, go outside and cool off. I'll start the fire, I'll start the fire."
Yun Ningyan smiled and went out.
"Don't cook it so big, the pig's trotters should be stewed over medium heat."
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Huo Junshan quickly scooped up some water for her.
"Yanyan, come and wash up. Why didn't you let Dad light the fire? You're so hot."
Huo Changgen snorted coldly upon hearing this, then picked up Yunxi and left.
"You should take care of your own son!"
Huo Junshan reluctantly washed his hands and carried Yun Chuan in his arms.
He added with a laugh, "Look how stingy your grandpa is, he's even angry. How about we don't let him eat meat at noon?"
Niu Cuicui and Zhang Hongying exchanged a glance, both of them filled with envy.
Because the third brother and his wife have such a good relationship!
It's so good that they're all envious.
Niu Cuicui laughed and said, "Ningning is so lucky. Look at how much trouble the third brother, Ningning, is in when she's just starting a fire."
Yun Ningyan was a little embarrassed by what she said.
"Sister-in-law, it's not as exaggerated as you say. Do you think my brother treats you badly?"
Niu Cuicui's eyes darted around quickly, and she looked at Huo Jianguo.
Huo Jianguo looked at her, wanting to hear her answer.
Niu Cuicui thought about what she had experienced every night.
She didn't dare to speak, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he treats me very well."
The way she said it made everyone grit their teeth.
Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan exchanged a glance and both smiled.
Yun Ningyan took Yun Chuan and held him in her arms.
"Go wash your face right now, it's filthy!"
Huo Changgen then took Yunxi out for a walk.
People returning from work all praised Yunxi for his good looks.
He found it boring; what those people were saying seemed completely fake.
Seeing that the third brother had washed his face and was standing in the yard, he handed Yunxi to him directly.
"You hold me, I'll go start the fire, so you won't accuse me of being lazy."
"Hahaha......."
Everyone laughed.
Huo Changgen kicked Huo Jianshe out. Huo Jianshe had worked for half a day, and his face and hands were very dirty.
"Go out and wash up, it'll be time to eat soon."
